Woodturning Symposium 2027

The symposium is at the Marriott Hotel and Convention Center in Franklin, Tennessee.

The organizer lists woodturners and craftspeople as audience groups.

It is most useful for hobbyist and semi-professional woodturners who want demonstrations from named turners such as Kirk DeHeer, Stewart Furini, Sammy Long and Elizabeth Weber, along with a chance to shop from tool and lumber sponsors like Hunter Woodturning Tools and Big Monk Lumber. As the 38th annual event of a state association, it draws a mostly regional crowd, so turners wanting a large national gathering, or people with no interest in the craft, would get less from it.

Woodturners at symposiums usually wear casual, practical clothes such as jeans and a shirt or a club shirt, with closed-toe shoes, and many dress up a little for the Saturday night banquet.
